For the last few years, I've been working on a self-checkout product similar to Mashgin that quickly identifies the items people place on a platform. I've really enjoyed work that involves stereo cameras and lidar, 3D scanning, surface reconstruction, and geometry more generally. I also get a lot of satisfaction from building libraries and other dev tools that make some of the more math-heavy tasks easier for non-experts. For more of a flavor of the kinds of work I especially enjoy, take a look at this article: https://andrews.wiki/spherical-mesh.
I've also been a manager and a tech lead, and I try very hard to establish priorities for my team that are simultaneously good for the product and good for the people who work towards them.
I'm currently looking into robotics companies, but anything that involves perception is welcome.
Curiosity, what do you mean by "Southern Pennsylvania"?
I am from Pennsylvania, attended Penn State, and I have lived in many different towns throughout the state including south-central ones. I've befriended yinzers and yousers. But I have never heard "Southern Pennsylvania" before.
My mind boggles. Is this some variation on "Little Washington"? Is this a Philadelphian way to simplify "Southeastern" and to therefore ignore, "SEPTA" notwithstanding, the hundreds of miles west of Philly? Are you near Chambersburg? Is this some way to describe commuting suburbs into northern Maryland? Is this some play on the Mason-Dixon line and you are actually in Maryland?
Remote: Yes, but willing to drive to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia occasionally or fly out a few times a year.
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: Python, Pants, Numpy, Mypy, Pytest, Ruff, Pydantic, C++, Rust, GitLab CI, Docker, Docker Compose, AWS (especially S3, EC2, ECR, Kinesis Video Streams), Terraform, New Relic, Linux, Bash, Nvidia Jetson, Triton, Intel RealSense, OpenCV, Open3D, Kafka
